Windows 10: Cortana/start menu/task bar not working

Cortana or the searchui process are not in my task manager, so I ran a sfc /scannow. I have no idea how to tell what it's saying in the log, but I can see it found some corrupted files.

I was going to attach it but the size limit is 2mb, and my log is 8mb. What should I do?

:)

 

Start menu not working, Cortana not working.

I'm on Windows 10 and the following stopped working:

Start menu

Cortana

Notifications on task bar

Wifi connections list button on task bar

Windows + I ( We couldn't connect to Microsoft family right now, so your family on this device might not be up to date)

I recently reinstalled windows after a failure to start up. This was done through troubleshooting. Everything worked normally for a while then things started to go wrong. I've tried running sfc /scannow without
success, restarted "Windows Explorer", I have uninstalled and resinstalled Windows applications, Nothing works.

Any suggestions other than a Windows reinstall?

Thanks

 

Cortana, Task Bar and Start Menu not working.

Original Title:

My Windows 10 Task Bar and Start Menu are not working.

Hello,

Since the beginning of the month, my task bar and start menu are not functioning correctly. I am unable to right click on programs on the task bar. I am unable left click on the volume control, notifcations, internet, or calendar/time. Left clicking on the
start menu and cortona does nothing either.

I have searched online for a few fixes, but nothing seems to work.

Would appreciate any help.
